> The elephant in the room is that you can't downvote submissions, only upvote. Which means there are posts that don't deserve to be on the front page that can't be removed from the front page, taking away spots from other posts. I don’t think this is entirely true. Posts can be flagged as an indication of downvoting (though there could be other reasons for flagging as well). When more people flag posts, they do go down in ranking. That’s my understanding and I do use flagging as a mechanism to push posts that I’d rather not have featured.
